SBC reveals huge expansion plans for SBC Summit Rio 2025

Published

on

SBC has revealed plans to transform its SBC Summit Rio for 2025, with a larger venue, a new date and a far bigger audience.

Building on this week’s sold-out event in Brazil, SBC Summit Rio will transfer to Riocentro – the city’s foremost event space – to increase the capacity to 10,000 sports and iGaming professionals and no less than 400 exhibitors and sponsors on February 25-27, 2025.

In order to accommodate the growing number of exhibitors, SBC will organize the show floor into dedicated areas for the Casino, iGaming & Sports Betting and Payments & Fintech professionals, and will introduce the Affiliate Leaders Summit to cater to the thousands of affiliates and marketing delegates expected to attend next year.

After sharing the plans with Rio de Janeiro Governor Cláudio Castro, who attended this year’s event on Wednesday evening, SBC Founder and CEO Rasmus Sojmark revealed that the plan to triple the size of the event will solidify SBC Summit Rio 2025 as the biggest industry event in Brazil and the wider Latin American region.

He commented: “Even during the planning stage of the 2024 edition, we knew that this event held promise for further expansion. The rapid sell-out of our first event had made it clear that we needed to accommodate this increased demand.

“In 2025, with plans for over 10,000 attendees and 400 exhibitors and sponsors, we want to provide the ultimate platform for all things iGaming and sports betting in Brazil. This development is incredibly exciting for both SBC and the industry, which has supported us in this decision in more ways than we could hope for.”

Set to host the event for at least four years, the new venue provides ample space spanning over 40,000 sqm. From Pavilion 4 to the Arts Pavilion, the amphitheatre, and outdoor food courts and networking spaces, Riocentro enables SBC to host the largest sports betting and iGaming event not just in Brazil, but throughout Latin America.

Additionally, the Riocentro offers the 4-star Lagune Barra Hotel onsite and is conveniently located near several hotels within a 4km radius, all offering complimentary shuttle services to the venue, ensuring a frictionless experience for the attendees.

For its conference segment, SBC Summit Rio 2025 will bring together 250 leading industry experts from Brazil and across the globe to share their knowledge, analyze trends, and discuss proactive initiatives to further advance the industry and shape the trajectory of Brazil’s gambling landscape.

This will include discussions on regulatory frameworks, localization intricacies, sports integrity, emerging sponsorship prospects, and the evolving dynamics among operators, affiliates, regulators, media, service providers, and other stakeholders.

The timing of the show was strategically selected for two primary reasons. Firstly, to establish a dedicated event for Brazil early in the year, enabling attendees to gather valuable market insights to shape their annual activities. Secondly, the show concludes just as the Brazilian Carnival begins in February 2025, offering attendees the opportunity to extend their stay in Rio and partake in this incredible cultural experience after attending SBC Summit Rio.

SX Bet Bets Big on Berachain: Bringing Web3 Sports Betting to Bera

Published

on

 

SX Bet is the fastest-growing on-chain betting exchange—built for the future of sports and crypto.

SX Bet has officially launched on Berachain, marking the next milestone in its cross-chain expansion strategy. With over 2 million bets placed, $675 million wagered, and 93% year-over-year growth in volume, SX Bet is reshaping the future of sports betting — and Berachain is the next big stage.

SX Bet’s Berachain launch comes with a unique incentive structure designed to reward bettors for their activity. Users can now place bets using the native $HONEY stablecoin and earn $SXBRT, a receipt token that can be staked to the SX Vault on BeraHub to generate weekly yields in $BGT, Berachain’s governance token. The more you win, the more you earn.

SX Bet will be hosting a summer Berachain betting tournament with a 69,420 bet credit prize pool from May 31 – July 14th and airdropping bet credits to top Berachain communities.

But the Berachain deployment is not just about incentives. It’s about creating a scalable global liquidity hub for bettors and builders alike. Builders can leverage SX liquidity to launch their own custom betting frontends and experiences.

“SX Bet isn’t just a single dApp — it’s a betting protocol anyone can build on. With this Berachain launch, we’re not just growing SX, we’re growing the entire Web3 betting ecosystem,” said Andrew Young, SX Bet Project Lead.

The cross-chain architecture enables shared liquidity across multiple blockchains, allowing users to place bets on their preferred chain without sacrificing odds or depth.

Already the top sports betting dApp by volume on Arbitrum, SX Bet has achieved sustained growth without relying on ongoing incentives — proving that sharp odds, fast UX, and a product-first approach win. Bettors choose SX for its peer-to-peer, non-custodial, on-chain model — a platform with the best odds, deepest liquidity, and a clear message: winners are welcome.

SX Bet is setting the standard for scalable sports betting infrastructure in Web3.
